On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast we're talking about museum exhibitions with my guests Nora Palermo and Pam Weeks of the New England Quilt Museum. Nora has served as Executive Director of the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts since 2013. Her broad experience in development for museums, cultural organizations and teaching hospitals brought a strategic approach to improving the NEQM's finances and expanding its audience. With support from the Board of Directors and a committed group of volunteers, Nora has led a small professional team to overhaul its exhibitions and public programs, successfully engaging new and diverse audiences in the art and history of quiltmaking and textile arts. And Pam is the Binney Family Curator at the New England Quilt Museum. Pam started making quilts as a result of the craft revival inspired by the Bicentennial in 1976. As the Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum, she works with many different quilters, collectors, institutions, and co-conspirators to plan exhibits for the museum, and research the quilts in the museum's collection. +++++ This episode is sponsored by The Academy for Virtual Teaching.

Ryan and Becca welcome back Tzipporah Schvarcz of Sipor Ceramics for her third appearance to dive into the ins and outs of hosting and teaching pottery workshops, both in-person and online. They explore marketing strategies, pricing, the rise of virtual summits, and how workshop formats have evolved. Plus, they reflect on recent NCECA experiences and teaching approaches.Maker of the MomentFeldi @feldistudiosJon Stein @jsteinpotteryMostly Kosher @mostlykosher-----Find more about Tzipporah's business below-----Instagram - @sipor.ceramicsWebsite - https://www.siporceramics.com/Listeners QuestionsOn this episode:How do you decide when to host a workshop, what kind of information do you include, and how do you go about setting a timeframe for it? I'm definitely interested in giving it a shot, but don't really know where to start. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated! @punchypotteryI know you've had episodes about teaching online workshops, and Becca's talked about going other places to teach, but have you ever done an episode about hosting workshops in your own studio? I know it's something the Beale's, JH Pottery, and even Danny Meisinger do. I'm both an Art Teacher and potter of over 8 years and I have a larger home studio now, so I'd like to start teaching my own classes. I'm looking for advice on getting started, what classes work well for others, marketing, how much to charge, and just all the things. I'm planning to start hosting handbuilding classes and private throwing lessons first until I know there's an interest before I invest in more wheels. @anniemargieceramicsSponsorsL&L Kilns - The durable kiln that potters trust to fire evenly & consistently.

Technology is like ice cream. Uh, Wait! What? Using technology can make learning super sweet, just like ice cream! Technology in the classroom is here to stay so we need to embrace it and learn to love it. In this episode, I give tips and best practices for teaching your students how to use technology in the classroom so that you don't lose your mind! BUT - I also believe that as much as children enjoy technology (& ice cream!) they also enjoy crayons, glitter, glue, and “hold in your hand” books. Technology, like ice cream, should be used in moderation. So, let's break it down on how to use it effectively in the classroom to get the biggest bang for your buck!
